Bob Wiley Detention Facility: Weekend Visiting Hours and How to Plan Your Visit
Planning a weekend visit to Bob Wiley Detention Facility? Timing is everything. Here are the exact hours and how to avoid getting turned away at the door.
Weekend in-person visiting hours at Bob Wiley Detention Facility are Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. These hours are specific to Bob Wiley - not a countywide schedule - so plan your drive accordingly. This matters especially if you're traveling from out of town or coordinating with other family members.
Note: Visiting schedules can change, including around holidays or due to operational needs. If your trip would be hard to redo, call ahead to confirm the current hours before you leave.
Can't make it in person? Internet video visits are available for people housed at Bob Wiley. For many families, video is the easiest way to stay connected when work schedules, childcare, transportation, or distance get in the way.
Video visits are available daily (Sunday–Saturday) from 7:45 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Pacific Time. Within that window, visits are scheduled in set blocks: 7:45 a.m.–11:05 a.m., 1:00 p.m.–4:10 p.m., and 8:00 p.m.–9:20 p.m. (all Pacific Time). Trying to fit a call around a work break or a child's bedtime? These are the time frames you'll be working with.
Tip: Video visits aren't available anytime during the day - only during the scheduled blocks above. Confirm availability before counting on a specific time.
Tulare County facilities don't all follow the same visiting pattern. Bob Wiley has a clear weekend in-person window (Saturday and Sunday), but other county facilities may structure visits differently or lean more heavily on video. Visited another Tulare County jail before? Don't assume the same days or time slots apply here - or that rules are consistent across housing areas.
Heads up: Housing unit assignments can affect when and how you visit. If you're unsure, call ahead to confirm the schedule for the person's specific unit.
